No Dig – Charles Dowding

Charles Dowding’s No Dig theory of vegetable gardening is one that has many, many acolytes. The basic premise of his approach to this is that the gardener needs to understand the soil and that understanding your soil will lead to better and healthier crops. Soil vitality is in Dowding’s method a dynamic process and the gardener risks disturbing the web of organisms that are present in the soil by turning the soil over and over.

He also says that No Dig saves time and allows gardeners to enjoy themselves more. The microorganisms present in the soil are allowed to flourish and encourages soil fertility and plant nutrition. In this book he outlines his method and how to garden according to No Dig principles and the rest of the book is then devoted to individual vegetable varieties and the process of achieving the best results with each of those varieties; there is a key for each one outlining sowing, transplanting and harvesting timetables throughout the year.

An invaluable source for those interested in soil health and growing vegetables.
